Defense Lawyer Handling Theft Crimes

Theft Crime Charges

Theft is a common crime in Florida and in the Miami area, with an increase in the last few years. Theft is the taking of something belonging to another without their knowledge or consent. Theft can occur in many ways, by stealing something out of a person's vehicle or breaking into someone's home to steal something. When a theft is committed with the use of a weapon, it becomes a much more serious crime, normally charged as a felony. Certain common theft crimes our office can defend you for include:

  • Shoplifting
  • Embezzlement
  • Petty Theft
  • Grand Theft
  • Grand Theft Auto
  • Carjacking
  • Robbery
  • Armed Robbery
  • Identity Theft
  • Computer Theft
  • Credit Card Fraud

There are two categories of theft crimes, petty or grand theft. When a theft involves an item with a value of less than $300, then the crimes is considered a petty theft. If you are facing a theft crime charge, contact criminal defense attorney Eric Matheny, who can competently defend you against any charges you may be facing.
